For weeks, I’ve been putting the 650 2 Black + 1 Color Original Ink Cartridge CZ101+102AK Multicolour (Model Number: 2724443091873) through its paces. This three-pack promises cost-effective printing with high-quality results, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. My testing involved a variety of print jobs, from simple text documents to vibrant color photos and detailed graphics. This review details my findings.

The standout feature is, of course, the inclusion of two black cartridges alongside a tri-color cartridge. This is a smart move for those who primarily print text documents, addressing a common printing need directly. The installation process was surprisingly straightforward; the cartridges slid in without any hassle. Tracking toner levels is also effortless, providing a clear indication of remaining ink.

Print quality was generally impressive. Black text was crisp and sharp, even at smaller font sizes. Color prints showed vibrant colors and smooth gradients, although some minor banding was noticeable in larger solid color areas. The speed wasn’t blazing fast, but it was certainly adequate for home or small office use. I didn’t experience any noticeable jamming issues throughout the testing period.

I printed various types of documents including reports, flyers, and even some photos. The results were generally consistent with the advertised claims, offering excellent quality for everyday documents. The fade-resistant quality of the ink is also noteworthy. After several weeks, prints showed no signs of discoloration or fading, indicating a long-lasting print.

Pros:

• Cost-effective for high-volume printing, especially text-heavy documents.
• Easy installation and toner level tracking.
• High-quality prints, especially text.
• Fade-resistant ink.

Cons:

• Minor banding noticeable in large solid color areas.
• Printing speed could be faster.

Overall, the 650 2 Black + 1 Color Original Ink Cartridge CZ101+102AK Multicolour (2724443091873) provides excellent value for money. While not perfect, its strengths significantly outweigh its weaknesses. The inclusion of two black cartridges is a practical solution for users who primarily print text documents. The print quality is consistently high, and the fade-resistant ink provides peace of mind. I would confidently recommend this ink cartridge set to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective printing solution.
